Let me be your midnight sun
I'll love you when the day is done (I'll love you when the day is done)
And in the deep of night you can count on me to be your only light

[Verse 1]
I know it gets hard to see things clearly
When there's a lot of shit you going through
Day to day, day to day
But giving up now would be too easy
There's gotta be another break to take the pain away, to take the pain away

[Pre-Hook]
Just call me when your world's crashing down around you
Wrap you up in my love, surround you with my own body
I promise, if you need I'll be here regardless
When your hope's running low remember how full my heart is

[Hook]
Let me be your midnight sun
I'll love you when the day is done (I'll love you when the day is done)
And in the deep of night you can count on me to be your only light
Let me be your midnight sun
I'll love you when the day is done (I'll love you when the day is done)
And when the darkness comes you can count on me to light it up light it up

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Your're losing that fight
Feel like falling on down
Ya fallin, on down
Fa-falling on down
Your're losing that fight
Feel like falling on down
Ya fallin, on down
Don't give up right now...

Darling show me what that heart do
I said "you can trust me"
Even if we fall through I got you
I promise
If you need, I'll be here regardless
When your hope's runnin low remember know how full my heart is

[Hook] (x2)

[OUTRO]
Tongue kissing end up the floor with it
Don't miss it, watch me how I'm gone flip it
Slow sippin' get it wet, you goin swimming
No limit, you gone fall in love with it
Fuck with it, I put my trust in it
Grab it from the top just adjust in it
Tryna get more, he was just in it
Do it so good, call me "one minute"

Came by in the day time
Babe I need that face time, said it's game time
Round two, lay that thang down, music bang out
Champagne, spots on the rug, spilling drinks now, uh
Just livin', high life blunt, rippin'
One hit in, back at it, wanna finish
No really, I’m feeling you
You the only nigga I'mma give it to
(Yeah)

Nights like these are few and far between
So let's make it last
You know what I mean...

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
